What happens to those who are inactive for some time and then try to log in? Will they be prompted to change their name? What if their name is still not taken, will they have to change? What if someone has old account without email?
Did this question ever get answered? I didn't see it in the index of the Wiki, and this was my first fear/question as well.

Well hmm someone correct me if I'm wrong but when you change your name regularly you still use your old username / email to log in. So I think once your in game after logging in it will ask you to choose a username but all login info should stay the same. -

You are asked to choose a new character name - if your old name is still available you simply select it again.

I know this is kinda old but is there any intention to do this some what regularly? Annually or every 6 months?


There are currently no plans to make name clean-ups a regular thing.

I still remember watching this and I saw 4 of my accounts on the list. :P I couldn't remember the login info and did not put an e-mail on any of them, but they were F2P accounts and did not have a whole lot on them. ^_^

I know that the list is probably quite out of date, but it's great you did this, also there's sooo many names on there (millions and milliiions) so there's no way they're all gone.
I've got a problem finding the lists of names, the ones in the final batch (batch A-M was found just fine [Post 254-255-385-65452510]). But if you look at 'The Final Batch' News post on 17th September 2014 - to find names after M through to Z, the link doesn't exist.
Please could you have a look & point me to the second half of the list if it exists please. Thanks
